Bullying a Dragon: Difference between revisions

Line 400:
* Ralph makes this mistake in ''[[Sandra and Woo]]'' after being told by a schoolmate that he should really, really not bully Cloud, especially if Cloud is currently carrying a sword... or a plastic knife from the school cafeteria.
* ''[[Sinfest]]'' had Seymour, the resident Christian [[The Fundamentalist|Fundamentalist]] [[Knight Templar]], under a fit of [[Fantastic Racism]], antagonize [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3663 Fuchsia], a devil girl in the midst of a [[High Heel Face Turn]] for her [[Interspecies Romance]] with Criminy. Given that on their first meeting, Fuchsia [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3050 set him on fire], he really should have known what he was getting into.
** Seymour also [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_pageview.php?comicIDdate=14042003-11-28 poked] the Dragon. LaterOnly 10 pages later the resident Satanist [[The Fundamentalist|Fundamentalist]] Lil' E [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_pageview.php?comicIDdate=14142003-12-08 tried to pick up a fight] with him. About the only difference between these two is that usually Seymour [[Too Dumb to Live|fails to see the obvious consequences]], while Lil' E [[Fearless Fool|understands, but presses anyway]].
* ''[[Wapsi Square]]'': [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/dontupsether/ Bud reminds Shelly of this trope and its folly.]
* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'': Tsukiko does this to Redcloak repeatedly, who is a much more powerful cleric than she is, and he takes it every time {{spoiler|until she finally threatens to reveal his plans to Xykon. It ends [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0830.html very, very badly] for her}}. What little justification for this behavior involves her belief that she has Xykon in her corner keeping Redcloak in line.
* ''[[Girl Genius]]'' had some people mistreating Jägermonsters just because they used to be afraid of Heterodynes' [[Super Soldier|supersoldiers]] and think they have the upper hand right now. Jägers, [[The Man They Couldn't Hang|while hanged]], are more afraid of meeting their own communication officer. Who, naturally, arrives - riding a ''giant bear'' - and after she ''asks politely'' to enter the town, one guard shoots. After she ''[[Arrow Catch|catches the arrow]]'', another lad screams "fire!". [[Hilarity Ensues]]. The prize, though, goes to the [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120525 Wulfenbach troops commander] who due to being on the wrong end of a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] screams to fall back and wait for airstrike. When a Jäger General looking like [[Big Red Devil]] says they're now "just ''asking'' for it", the bright guy adds an insult to his hometown.
* ''[[Dawn of Time]]'' had [http://www.dawnoftimecomics.com/index.php?id=46 an enthusiastic time travellertraveler] overconfident in [[Historical In-Joke|his ideas about dinosaurs]].
